title: [Etiology and treatment of secondary lesions of the urethra: unusual complication of a combined kidney-pancreas transplantation].
abstract: The pancreaticoduodenocystostomy has become the most acquired technique to perform a combined pancreas-kidney-transplantation. This operation shows some disadvantages. There sometimes are urological problems. In this article, we describe two patients, who showed urethral problems due to this operation. At the same time, we would like to describe the possible causes and the preferable treatment of this rare complication. We advise to start with a conservative treatment and, if problems persist, to consider an intestinal conversion.
